These sites of interest help tell this geological story that not only spans millions of years, but also many different latitudes, climates, temperatures and sea-levels. They also show times when Ireland experienced lots of volcanic activity, or when Ireland was under an ocean and covered by the sea. The landscape we see today ties all of this geological activity together, including how glaciers of the latest geological period, the Quaternary, has shaped the landscape.<\/p>\n<p>These geosites either have geology of international significance \u2013 some of them are unique both in Ireland and worldwide \u2013 or are part of the rich cultural history of the area, which are the fundamentals of becoming a geopark. \u200b<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"vc_row wpb_row vc_inner vc_row-fluid liquid-row-shadowbox-69d604b6d2167\"><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-12 liquid-column-69d604b6d2240\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"  ><div class=\"wpb_wrapper-inner\"><style>.ld_spacer_69d604b6d22a4{height:100px;}<\/style>\n<div class=\"ld-empty-space ld_spacer_69d604b6d22a4\"><span class=\"liquid_empty_space_inner\"><\/span><\/div><style>.ld_blog_69d604b6d230a .liquid-blog-grid{margin-left:-15px;margin-right:-15px;}.ld_blog_69d604b6d230a .liquid-blog-grid > div{padding-left:15px;padding-right:15px;}.ld_blog_69d604b6d230a .liquid-blog-grid .liquid-lp{margin-bottom:30px;}.ld_blog_69d604b6d230a .filter-list{margin-bottom:px;}.ld_blog_69d604b6d230a .liquid-blog-item .liquid-lp-title,.ld_blog_69d604b6d230a .liquid-lp .liquid-lp-title{margin-top:px;margin-bottom:px;}<\/style><div data-filter-id=\"1597317078544-30ec40cb-ab6f\" class=\"liquid-blog-posts ld_blog_69d604b6d230a 1597317078545-2a4acd6e-2d73\" data-post-per-page=\"20\"><div class=\"liquid-blog-grid row\"><div class=\"col-md-4\"><article id=\"post-4578\" class=\"liquid-lp post-4578 post type-post status-publish format-standard has-post-thumbnail hentry category-geosites tag-attractions tag-geosite tag-mayo\"><figure class=\"liquid-lp-media\"  data-responsive-bg=\"true\" data-parallax=\"true\" data-parallax-options='{ \"parallaxBG\": true }'><a  href=\"https:\/\/joycecountrygeoparkproject.ie\/fr\/attractions\/geosites\/geosite-aill-dubh-mountain-building\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"740\" height=\"800\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;charset=utf-8,&lt;svg xmlns%3D&#039;http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg&#039;
